I pray for leaders, no matter who they are. I don’t like Biden and think he is a racist and creep—always have since I first knew of him decades ago—but he is the President and anyone in that position needs the prayers of others.

I remember for years being around C of C folks who had cold or flu symptoms, yet came to church every time the door was open, even sh...
